Give Spring Salads a Fresh Spin

-

W FAMILY FEATURESit­h spring and warmer weather comes salad season, offering a perfect canvas for creating refreshing meals and appetizers centered around tasty greens, juicy tomatoes and crave-worthy dressings. Give your salads an update by avoiding the same tired mixes and instead create tasty meals fit for the season. One easy way to up your salad game is by starting with quality ingredient­s like Fresh Express salad blends, NatureSwee­t Cherubs Tomatoes and Litehouse refrigerat­ed salad dressings. These fresh, flavorful ingredient­s can be combined in a dish like this Chimichurr­i Chickpea Salad, a perfect way to go green this spring for nearly any occasion.

Part of the appeal of dishing up a homemade salad is the unlimited options you have at your fingertips to make the bowl of greens uniquely “yours.” For many, this means one thing: the more toppings, the better. With grilled chicken, crispy bacon, tomatoes, ripe avocado, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese and a bed of fresh lettuce, this classic Cobb Salad offers an ideal lunch or even a quick family meal.

Because both these recipes can be made in 20 minutes or less, they provide simple solutions when short on time. Plus, the fresh ingredient­s sum up everything spring meals are made of.
